Thought it was interesting that we'd be willing to take Smalling back.Solskjaer has seven centre backs and is considering signing another one if the price is right — Pau Torres and Nathan Aké are among his targets — so Rojo and Phil Jones are expected to be put up for sale. If United cannot get either Torres or Aké on the cheap, Smalling, 30, is likely to return after a successful year with Roma.
Not if you listen to some of the geniuses on here. Apparently Lingard's 'huge social media following' means we can expect clubs to bid up to 30m for him.That's the biggest concern I have this window too. Trying to make clubs buy the likes of Sanchez, Lingard, Pereira, Rojo, Jones amongst others will be bloody difficult.
Wot?Lingard, 27, is a popular figure within the dressing room and scored an important goal against Leicester City on Sunday, but he did not start a league game after New Year’s Day. His future is a sensitive topic. During an online press conference organised by his sponsor American Pistachio Growers last Thursday, the organisers blocked questions from the media about his lack of game time and whether he would remain at his boyhood club next season.
I would say you can negotiate Lingard for £25m, we would be mad to sell anything cheaper.Not if you listen to some of the geniuses on here. Apparently Lingard's 'huge social media following' means we can expect clubs to bid up to 30m for him.
Yeah and look how long that took!We've found buyers for Darmian, we'll find for others.
The man loves his pistachiosFrom the article
Wot?
I'm certainly not Lingards biggest fan but I dont think 25m is unreasonable for him and I'm sure plenty of clubs in prem would pay it....West Ham and Everton spring to mind.Not if you listen to some of the geniuses on here. Apparently Lingard's 'huge social media following' means we can expect clubs to bid up to 30m for him.
So we should expect 25m for Lingard, but you will be surprised if we get anything at all for Pereira? Seems strange as it's not as if Lingard has been any better than Pereira this season in my opinion. Especially not 25m better thats for sure.I would say you can negotiate Lingard for £25m, we would be mad to sell anything cheaper.
Just have a look at the fees paid. Iwobi, Perez, Joelinton, Solanke, Haller and alot more.
Lingard is a good player. .
Rojo is probably going to stay in Argentina.
Jones and Perreira we should be happy with anything we get.
Sanchez - Here is me hoping his post lockdown form has convinced Inter to sign him
Yep, thats right. Lingard whatever we think has had very good moments over the past for us. Perreira hasnt.So we should expect 25m for Lingard, but you will be surprised if we get anything at all for Pereira? Seems strange as it's not as if Lingard has been any better than Pereira this season in my opinion. Especially not 25m better thats for sure.
It's the only choice we have, because clubs outside EPL can't afford the same wages, because realistically a transfer costs wages + transfer money + signature prize for players and agents.We'll end up selling for cheap just to at least save on wages. Every little helps. We'll struggle to get good money as they're mostly crap, it's that simple.
the feck did I just watch?Be Like Jesse innit
This just raises further questions.Be Like Jesse innit
Romero is a quality back up keeper we shouldnt be selling himHonestly, I'd be willing to consider free transfer or nominal fees for a lot of our players. Who is going to pay real money for someone like Marcos Rojo? The only purpose players like him are serving right now is stopping us from allocating our wage bill to players we might actually want.
Its United's fault for giving long contracts to so many players who were clearly not up to snuff. In the last couple of years we have been daft enough to give new deals to Jones, Rojo, Andreas and others who were only ever going to be a wage sink for us. So not only can we not shift them, we're stuck with them for the foreseeable future.
Its like we don't learn: No matter how much you re-paint and clean your robin reliant nobody wants it. Nobody gives a toss about what you paid for it. They see its a banger and aren't going to be tricked into spending money on scrap. We waited and waited and waited for someone dumb enough to pay us over £10m for Darmian and, in the end, had to finally accept (what everyone could see) that nobody was going to pay that for someone who wouldn't be starting for a mid-table team.
Any or all of the following players could leave the club without weakening the squad in any way:
I'd be happy to see the bulk of those to go. If we could sell all of them for around what we sold Darmian, which was £3.5m, that'd be £35m in incoming fees. Add another £35m to that and you're reaching the kind of sums you need to buy an elite centre back or defensive midfielder.

How is he quality? I keep seeing this but its not true at all. He gets clean sheets against the likes of Tranmere and Astana. Any of our goalkeepers is capable of that.Romero is a quality back up keeper we shouldnt be selling him
Yeah selling the deadwood is only way we can fund moves for a VDB/Grealish/CB. Have to admit this is the first article that has made me think if we only get Sancho and no cover for Pogba/Bruno it's going to feel a bit underwhelming after all the positivity since Sunday.Tweet

And will be written next summer if the trend continues as certain players continue stealing a living at Old Trafford, as our manager tears his hair out awaiting replacements that never come.An article like this was written last summer...
that was (reportedly) because the club was holding out for their evaluation price. Very stupid as he ended up going dirt cheap anyways, so we paid him an extra 2 seasons worth of wages to never play. Par for the course from a club where Phil Jones and Ashley Young are/were almost in Testimonial range.Yeah and look how long that took!
